Materials and what they mean for the repair
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are thick and very strong, with a fused enamel surface. A chip down to the iron can rust, but the body of the bath lasts a very long time, so it’s always worth repairing.
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour matched, in much the same way.
Bath repair at your home in Pockthorpe
It pays to repair bath damage while it’s small. Exposed metal on enamelled baths soon rusts, while cracks in acrylic grow each time the bath moves. Repairing it stops the damage getting worse. Whether it’s chips on the rim or sides and damage done while the bathroom was being fitted, we can generally put it right, whatever the material.
All our work comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Norfolk.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
Honest limits
In fairness, some problems need a different fix:
- Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before you book.
Surfaces we repair
- Cast iron enamel
- Acrylic
- Pressed steel enamel
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Whirlpool & spa baths
Looking after it afterwards
A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:
- Do not scrub with anything abrasive
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
- Don’t leave razors or cans standing in the bath
- Put a towel in the bath if you are working above it
There is nothing special to do after a repair, beyond gentle cleaning. Avoid bleach-based and gritty cleaners.
Avoid standing in a cracked acrylic bath until it’s fixed. Every use opens the crack a little more, and it can start to leak underneath.
Questions from Pockthorpe
How do I get a price for bath repair in Pockthorpe?
Prices start from £95. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You will get a fixed figure before you book.
Do you cover Pockthorpe?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to Pockthorpe for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Can you redo an old repair?
Regularly. The old material comes out, any rust is treated, then we repair it properly.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, we often do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
Is there a call-out fee?
No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.
What about rust by the waste?
Yes, it’s one of the most common repairs we do. The rust is cut back to clean metal and sealed before we fill and finish it.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes, often. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Landlord and trade work in Pockthorpe
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Norfolk and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

When to call us in Pockthorpe
Dropped items cause the majority of chips, and a lot happen during bathroom refits. Cracks in acrylic have a different cause: poor support underneath, so the bath flexes when it’s full.
Send us a picture if you notice any of these:
- Deep scratches in acrylic
- Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
- Chips caused by builders
- A chipped rim or side
What to look for in a quote
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers

The process
On the day, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take a few hours, depending on the damage. We clean up when we are done and let you know when you can use it again.
- We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
- Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
- The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of the bath.
- We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
- The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
